I must confess that I would not rely on the absolute correctness of your diagnosis. Think more along the lines of symptoms. I am not diagnosed with Complex Regional Pain Syndrome, but have spinal stenosis with foraminal narrowing, osteoarthritis, et al. and have been allowed the co-diagnosis of fibromyalgia. All of this was brought about by a gall bladder infection and the resulting sepsis. If I cease taking a regular dosage of Gabapentin (and on occasion otherwise), my skin begins to tingle and then to burn. It can be sheer agony. Pain patches and cream do nothing, nor do the latest medicines that doctors proffer. I would be reluctant to try Benadril because of ties to dementia or similar. You might want to try a good CBD oil extract. Your doctor may have missed some food that you are allergic to. Stop eating processed food and food that you don't make yourself. It sounds like your autoimmune system is overreacting to the injury as a type of infection.

I have a dx of autonomic dysfunction which, from what I have read, is found in all with CRPS. The doctor who dxed me is extremely bright and ever so talented at his job of pain management. I do not eat processed foods, am gluten free due to celiac, dairy free due to
lactose intolerance and an allergy to milk. Am allergic to most medications. I use oxycontin when everything else I have tried doesn't help
as much as I need and I am feeling overwhelmed. I was prescribed 30 ten months ago and I have 1 left. I take CDB oil. I use a tens unit
frequently as well as prescribed pain patches. I also use prescribed lidocaine prolocaine cream for those spots pain patches just don't
work. I am confident in my PCP and pain management doctor. They are both the same age as my older son and I have a great and unique relationship with each of them. They also both are D.O.s. My PCP does OMM as part of my office visit. I also have myofascial pain and he has tremendous healing in his hands and is well skilled in neuromuscular things. A recent trip to the neurologist got me a dx of Stiff Person Syndrome, something I have had for 20 years but never found someone who was familiar with what I had. He was able to dx me because I had an episode while he was doing EMG studies. Despite the challenges this body presents, I am blessed. God's faithfulness, mercy, grace, fantastic love and joy and His desire to have me be all He would have me be, encourages my spirit, my very being to rest in His peace and love as He teaches and guides me through the Holy Spirit.

Thanks for the tip about benadryl.
